    @toastywaffle and I are planning to leave Toronto around noon on Friday and head to Valens early. We've been to the January 2019 EGL group hang when somebody else organized the site booking, firewood, etc. If we're the first ones there, how should we handle it? Grab site 134? I understand the park office is closed on Friday.

    Hiya Traycer,

    Site 134, right.

    It looks like quite a few of us are showing up on Friday, myself included. If the park office is closed (I wonder why, I'll call tomorrow), we should be able to get through the gate by getting a permit from the machine using a credit card.

    I'll call a chap in the area about firewood, but it'd be best to use a 4x4 to pick it up. Scrap wood from home would be useful for Friday.

    Dry scraps would be helpful as kindling but no need for firewood ... I and/or Whett Newdell will bring some (for the customary nominal fee in liquid form).

    Disregard my concern... I thought I remembered something about the front gates only being staffed on weekends, but I think that might have been in January the last time we went. We're coming up in a pretty small car not suited for hauling wood, but will gladly contribute money towards the firewood fund!

    FYI, I'm not planning on bringing the smoker as I'm still not sure what time I can make it on Friday, and I doubt we'd have time to smoke anything on Saturday after the symposium. I can bring it to the winter checkout weekend, assuming I can make it.
